Aloha on Rails is a one day Rails tutorial and a two day conference held in Waikiki, Oahu on Oct 4-6, 2009. The tutorial is designed to teach those new to web programming how to build, test, and deploy web applications. By the end of the tutorial, students will have a working application hosted on the web! The conference itself is filled with two days of cutting edge, thought provoking, and educational topics for web developers, designers, and business owners.
Aloha on Rails is proud to invest in the next generation of web developers and computer programmers. It is our hope that by helping a young student attend this tutorial and conference, they are set on a path of education that returns them to Hawaii and its strong and growing technology community.
